Default Average Weight

I have a 95 formula A4. AC and ABS delete no spare. non-power cloth seats
What would be a good guess as what my weight without driver would be and what other things i could remove. I would take the car to be weighted but The motor is not in it yet.

To try and give you a very rough idea - 97RedZ28's car (a 97 Z28) weighs 3460 - he's A4, cloth, and has ABS/AC.

I'm roughly estimate you to be around 3300ish.....

(thread jack) I'd got power windows, cloth non-powered seats, and full everything else with a t-56. Any guess on my lbs?

I always heard that the A4 was lighter then the T-56 due to the extra parts and such in the 6-speed

Yeah, I'd guess in the mid 3300 range. You get a general idea if you go to edmunds.com and look up your car. They say that formy's weigh in at 3311 lbs.

http://www.edmunds.com/used/1997/pon...318/specs.html

But who the hell knows, I've seen edmunds be wrong plenty of times.

I wanted a M6 when I drop in my 402 for the Highway digs, but sideways in 3rd, possibly 4th on the streets got me away from that. The Auto will be a killer on the Track..
